Apology not accepted...yet. We'll see how this ends. It took 300 pages before the conflict in the plot arose. Then another 83 for it to even develop. At least it's very good character work.

#TodayImReading two books. I didn't plan this, but they compliment each other very well. Each challenging preconceptions re: developed intellect. One just does it with really cool spiders.

Still reading, and this bit hits hard today.

"What is the terrible fate that he fears...He fears an age of man when the strongest shall rule and bring the wildness and disorder of the earth under their dominion. Why he sees that as an evil I have never understood..."

Still reading and loving this book. But I don't love the cover of my copy. (The skin color and clothing of the man on the cover doesn't match the descriptions in the book).

I'm at the point when everyone's angry with Fitz and he's just trying to do what he thinks is best to protect those he loves. And I recognize this weight from days and moments when I've felt the same.

Amazing writing @robinhobb.bsky.social, amazing.

Thank you for the update. I was wondering about Matilda. I'm no longer on instagram, and the only thing I miss are the Happy Doggo updates. I'm so pleased you are taking the time to post a few updates on bluesky. Thank you.

On MLK Day, let us remember his message. Let us not give in to fear. We are the light which can drive out the darkness.

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” - Rev. King
